Gluten Free Wish List For An Ice Cream Cakes/ Pies

I own a Coldstone Creamery ice cream store. 99% of our ice cream is gluten free. I am becoming aware of a customer need for gluten free cakes/ pies. If I can offer a gluten free alternative for a cake/pie would it be worth my while? For example, is there a gluten free graham cracker crust that I could substitute & make a great ice cream pie. Is there any wholesale options for gluten free cakes. Our fondant for cakes are a special recipe & made with marshmallows, are there certain brands I want to stay away from. Looking for options for our customers. Thanks

I think your main problem would be keeping the gluten-free stuff free from cross contamination. Could you do that? In other words, use separate pans and utensils and make sure that not a speck of regular flour got in there?

Also in just addressing the ice cream itself, that could create a problem. Even though the ice cream is gluten-free, the scoop could pick up gluten from touching a cone.

I always worry about letting my daughter get stuff from Coldstone because she also has a peanut (and some other) allergies. So far she hasn't gotten sick, but she has only been there a couple of times.

CC is an issue for sure. I think it would be a good idea to read the Celiac Awareness Restaurant Guide (thay may not be the exaxt name, but I am sure another member can post the exact name) so that you could ensure your celiac guests would be safe. Having said that, a cookie crust like oreos with some gluten-free cookies and cream ice cream would make my son very, very happy! There are several brands of these oreo like cookies available, K-toos being one of them.

Thank you for thinking of us!!

Where are you located? I want to come to your store!

Just within the last month I was looking for a gluten free icecream cake for a family birthday! It was my husband's birthday, and he wanted an ice cream cake, but, he also wanted it to be something that my daughter and I could eat too. Unfortunately we couldn't find anything like that, so I ended up getting two cakes...

Even tho my daughter and I had a gluten free alternative, we would have loved to had some of the ice cream cake!

I'd try one. I would think if you tried it as a special order item you would find out if it was worth the time and effort. Yes, there are gluten free graham crackers. Let us know if you try this and how it goes.

There a a few things I can think of for you. You would do best with a pre-made gluten free product so you could say, "This pie was made using XYZ brand gluten-free crust." If you do this, be sure and contact your local celiac group and let them know. You might think of sending a cake/pie to one of their meetings. Lastly, please don't gouge us on the price. I expect an up charge for gluten-free things, but sometimes it's outrageous--$45 for a pizza with three toppings would be an example.

Good luck!

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      This article does not address migraines at all. Yes, red wine and sulfites are often mentioned in connection with migraine triggers. With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines...

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems. Everything in moderation. Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese. Sulfites cause a high histamine release. High histamine levels are found in migraine. Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet,...

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

      Body dysmorphia experience

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress...

With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor.

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Body dysmorphia experience

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.
